A speck of dust appears on my monitor. Wait, it's actually on the forums?

I swear this wasn't here a few days ago, but a small mark has appeared between the Quote and Agree buttons in every post. I've copy+pasted it right here: · According to a quick wiki search, it is a "middle dot."

Should be highlightable from anyone's post, including this one.

I'm using Chrome on Win10 if that makes any difference.

    One grey pixel, yeah.

    This is deliberate. It separates reactions from tools. On mod screens there's one separating logs as well.

    And it's a recent addition, right?

    Not that I'm aware of.

    ...How come I never noticed it until now?

    This is going to be my personal Berenstain/Barenstein Bears, isn't it.

    Not anymore now that the rest of us aren't going to be able to unsee it.

    I wonder if you never noticed it before because the buttons would auto-hide? It seems they may not be doing that anymore.

    Also, strangely, would it be "less" noticeable if it were bigger? Having it be such a tiny middle dot does look kinda/sorta out of place and like a pixel going bad, as opposed to the larger icon flanking it. By having it be a more solid part of the UI, and used to separate off whatever next batch of reactions we get, it would make it feel more natural?

    I'm not a UI designer or a psychologist, btw.. just.. thinking about how I'd go about adjusting it to be less distracting.

    We would have to pay a guy to do that, I don't see it happening.

  • bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    Not sure how much of a headache this would be, but, would it be possible for a few of us to submit fixes for the official stylesheet when this stuff happens? Not that the small dot needs a fix in particular.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    No, but you can do your own stylesheet.

    If there's actual bugs we can get those fixed but 95% of things that people want changed aren't bugs.

    I fully get it and understand. :)

    ... Hmm. Patreon for the forums?

    It's fine, we have money. I'm just not spending it on airbrushing a dot out of our theme.

    BRB, off to @Athenor 's house to plant/hide random tiny dots everywhere, weeks later we find they've gone utterly insane. :P :snap:

    There's a reason I don't do UI design.

    What about spending it on the dot slowly growing larger every few weeks, and never acknowledging that it's growing larger?
